Tonk (Rajasthan): While addressing an election campaign rally here on Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi lashed out at Congress and said that even listening to Hanuman Chalisa turns out to be a crime under Congress rule.

"Even listening to Hanuman Chalisa becomes crime under Cong rule, it becomes difficult to follow one's faith under Cong," PM Modi said in the Rajasthan rally.

On March 18, a group of people and a shopkeeper had an altercation in Karnataka's Bengaluru over playing religious music during Azaan sparking a fresh political row with the BJP targeting Siddaramaiah government.

Reffering to the 'redistribution of wealth' remarks made by him at the rally in Rajasthan's Banswara on Sunday, PM Modi said it has angered the Congress and INDI Alliance so much that they have started "abusing" Modi everywhere

"I have put forth the truth before the country that Congress is hatching a deep conspiracy to snatch your wealth and distribute it among the 'select' people," he said at a rally in Tonk.

"Two-three days ago, I exposed this vote bank politics of Congress as appeasement politics; this has angered Congress and its INDI Alliance so much that they have started abusing Modi everywhere," he said while asking "why the Congress is scared of the truth and hiding its policies".

"It is written in their manifesto that they will survey the wealth. Their leader had said in a speech that X-ray of wealth will be done," he said, adding, "When Modi exposed the secret, your hidden agenda came out and you are trembling".
